Class Note 1971
Issue
July-August 2022
It appears that our 50-plus-one reunion will occur in person (remember our virtual reunion in 2021)! Bob and Lisa Lider, Tom and Judy Oxman, and their team have planned a program of friends, festivities, and food including talks, classes and tours, and plenty of get-together time. Visit the class website, dartmouth71.org, for details.
On April 3 the following ’71 classmates joined Team Zrike and participated in the Boston MS Walk: Michael Maynard, Malcolm Jones, John Hanley,and Bob Lider with Lisa. This was followed by brunch together. Steve Zrike reports his team raised more than $38,000 this year, coming in second place in terms of fundraising. Steve’s classmates historically contribute more than 60 percent of all the funds raised by his team.
Classmate travel in 2023? Hoping that international travel will return to normal, Willis Newton, Doug Boyink, Malcolm Jones, and Dick Wenzel will be assessing interest in future trips after the reunion. Please reach out to them with any bucket list trips you may have. In the meantime, a few hardy classmates are enjoying traveling on the Mississippi River together this spring.
The Nantucket, Massachusetts, mini is back after a two-year hiatus due to Covid. Classmates Michael Maynard, Alice Reno Malone, and Frank Anton have planned a class of 1971 mini-reunion on Nantucket September 23-25. By that time, crowds have thinned, the weather on the island is cool and clear, and all the shops and restaurants are still open for business. Plans include fishing, tennis, golf, dining, croquet, touring, cruising, and just hanging out with classmates. For details, contact Michael, Alice, or Frank or check out dartmouth71.org.
Peter Pratt was inducted into Dartmouth’s Stephen F. Mandel Society on April 6. The College describes his contribution as follows: “A son of small-town New Hampshire, Peter Pratt was born with granite in his muscles and his brains. As a proud member of the class of 1971 and fervent supporter of financial aid, he has ceaselessly led and encouraged his Dartmouth brethren, their spouses, and the female transfer students who joined their class to ‘do more and better.’ Under Peter’s leadership, the ’71 accomplishments include endowing a scholarship to honor President John Sloan Dickey and Professor John Rassias, who had a special impact on Peter. He also lends his substantial talents to the Dartmouth Club of D.C. as well as the Dartmouth College Fund. Peter’s wife, Marsha, is a wholehearted partner in his efforts for Dartmouth, and together the two endowed the Pratt Family Scholarship. That gift is even more special with Peter following in the footsteps of his father, who gave to the Dartmouth Parents and Grandparents Fund for more than 30 years. With great gratitude, Dartmouth welcomes Peter Pratt into the Stephen F. Mandel ’52 Society, which recognizes alumni volunteers who provide visionary leadership to Dartmouth through the Dartmouth College Fund.”
